People that hated Joker 2 will probably hate this one too but I thought it was an interesting experiment to use a genre associated with comedies or romance to talk about serious issues like femicide, trafficking and its victims, corruption, the media, etc... Zoe should be a contender during awards season. But Selena Gomez' Spanish is so bad is distracting.

A disappointing film that is among the worst of the director. The banal treatment of sex reassignment, the paternalistic view of Latin American social problems, the poor quality of too simple songs... Zoe Saldaña is extraordinary and Kala Sofía Gascón very convincing, but the transposition of the soap opera melodrama with the wrapping of a musical thriller ends up being too ridiculous at times. The denunciation of femicide is too distant due to a simple script with poorly developed characters and the message is blurred in the middle of a brave but failed proposal.

Surreal, creative, mind-blowing, A mishmash of ideas, film genres, music and languages. A foreign perspective that interprets the transition from a murderer to a saint, in part, yes, that's Mexico, surreal, but it's also more complex.

Am I on crazy pills? This being billed as an Oscar contender must be because of subject matter and messaging alone because this movie is a mess and laughably bad. It hops all over the place, the cinematography is so ugly and pushed so close into the scenes and character faces, and the music had nothing standout. Lots of big ideas that are half baked. The ending is also so rushed and silly.

Besides giving us the privilege of a great Zoe Saldana performance where she isn't blue or green, and some outstanding cinematography (lots of interesting camera movement, the lighting is superb), this is pretty much a total trainwreck. It's certainly not for a lack of effort, as there's a pretty bo More

I certainly can see why "Emilia Pérez" is considered a strong Oscar contender. The genre mix of crime, drama, and, of course, musical alone makes for a consistently interesting film experience. Visually, it is also quite varied, and the very contemporary trans topic is certainly one that will be we More

“Emilia Pérez” is a challenge. An extravagant musical about a drug lord who decides to change his life after embracing his identity as a trans woman? It’s such a bold idea that it’s bound to divide opinions, but director Jacques Audiard doesn’t hold back on style or emotion. Despite its q More

I feel like someone is playing a joke on me because this is barely a coherent movie, let alone a potential Oscar contender. First thing is first, this movie is a full-blown musical. Maybe it's on me for not realizing that, but none of the buzz surrounding this movie really highlighted that aspect. I More
